ABSTRACT Haphazard sampling is a nonstatistical technique used by auditors to simulate a variety of random sampling techniques when testing the error status of accounting populations. In this study, we compare the properties of haphazard samples selected from control listings with the properties of simple random samples. We hypothesize that control listing entries exhibit salience values that result from the effort required to locate entries and the visual properties of entries. We further hypothesize these salience values influence sample selections and result in sample properties that are different from those of simple random samples. To test these hypotheses, we examine the properties of haphazard samples selected by three participant groups. In each group, sample properties differ from those of simple random sampling and include a lack of independence across sample selections and biased sample inclusion probabilities. We also develop models showing how biased sample inclusion probabilities influence error projections and discuss the estimation consequences of these biases.

Organisational culture plays an important role for enabling the process of knowledge sharing. Organisational culture is not only reflected in the visible aspects of organization such as structure, mission, and objectives, it is also embedded in the behaviour of people. The purpose of this chapter is to close research gaps present in knowledge sharing success by examining the linkages between employees’ knowledge-sharing through collaboration, perceived values of involvement, trustworthiness, and formal recognition. The research data was collected by using simple random sampling techniques from a population of knowledge workers in Malaysian IT organisations. The findings highlight the importance of organisational culture for successful knowledge sharing within organisations. The results of factor analysis show the emergence of four new cultural values extant in the Malaysian context. These values are involvement, trustworthiness, formal recognition, and independence. Successful knowledge sharing is significantly related to the perceived value of involvement, trustworthiness, and formal recognition. This chapter will be beneficial for researchers, practitioners, scholars, and organisations (leaders and employees); it will also be helpful for those interested in organisational structure and relationships across organisations in knowledge contexts.

Ten villages of Tirunelveli district were selected purposively for the study wherein NABARD Farmers culb functioning successfully. From each village 50 NABARD Farmers club members were selected by simple random sampling techniques. Thirty percent of the respondents were involved among 500 beneficiaris of the project to study the impact of TANUVAS - mineral mixture on the productive performance. Accordingly, 15 respondents from each village were included for this study and constituted a sample size of 150. Milk sample were collected before supplementation of TANUVAS - mineral mixture and after two weeks period of supplementation of TANUVAS - mineral mixture in dairy cattle. Fat and SNF percentage of samples were analysed in the laboratory and milk yield also estimated. The study concluded that, supplementation with TANUVAS - mineral mixture increased milk yield by one litre, fat percentage increased by 1.77 per cent and SNF increased by 0.77 per cent.

An interactive microcomputer program was developed to aid the design of simple random sampling with or without replacement. The program determines: (1) sample size for a set of given conditions for up to 20 variables; (2) combinations of conditions that will yield a given samples size; and (3) the relationship between percentage error and sample size for a given set of conditions. Potential applications are illustrated with three simple examples. Key Words: sample size, simple random sampling

This survey study is aimed to identify the level of intrinsic motivation and its and to determine whether there is a significant mean difference of intrinsic motivation-based gender, school location, achievement level, and subject stream. This study involved a total of 521 Form Four students as samples using simple random sampling techniques. The questionnaire Intrinsic Motivation Inventory which has been adapted is the instrument of this study. The data of this study were analyzed descriptively and inferred. The findings of this study showed that intrinsic motivation and its construct at a moderate level. In addition, the findings also showed that there are significant mean differences in intrinsic motivation based gender and achievement level. Therefore, the findings also indicated that there are no significant mean differences in intrinsic motivation based school location and subject streams.

influence contraction of uterus characteristics with length of second period in BPS Sahabat Perempuan Gunung Anyar Surabaya. Contraction of uterus is the major physiological force during the delivery process of second period. Based on the results of preliminary studies, there is still mother who get pathological second period of childbirth. Intention of this research is to identity influence contraction of uterus characteristics with length of second period. Design this research use analytic with cohort method. The population is all of the mother who have the interpretation of labor on June 14 until July 9 and delivery at private practice midwife Sahabat Perempuan Gunung Anyar Surabaya, which amounts 30 respondents. Big of sample 28 respondents, were teken with probability sampling techniques, that is simple random sampling. Processing by editing, coding and tabulating. Variable independent is contraction of uterus characteristics and variable dependent is length of second period. Result of this research with test of chie-squares with significance level α = 0,05. Most respondents with contraction of uterus characteristics normally is (53,3 % ) only a small proportion who get pathological second period of childbirth (18,75 %). From got by statistical test result of ρ = 0,025 and ρ < α of meaning H1 accepted, it means there is correlation between contraction of uterus characteristics with length of second period at private practice midwife Sahabat Perempuan Gunung Anyar Surabaya. It can see from Odds Ratio (OR) is getting 7,8 (95 % CI : 1,47 – 41,21). Its means contraction of uterus characteristics more effective for length of second period. This research conclusion that there more mother delivering have contraction of uterus characteristics normally, so more big chance mother delivering for felt with length of second period. Adviced to pregnant women to trying the contraction of uterus with pregnancy gymnastic, it can train the muscle strength of the stomach, hips, and other supporting muscle that are not rigid and well coordinated, so the contraction of uterus become normally.

Scientific literacy is an ability that must be had by pre-service teachers. This research aimed to find out the scientific literacy's ability of pre-service teachers in chemistry education. This research was descriptive with quantitative approach. Participants were taken by simple random sampling techniques, the participants are chemistry education students. The data source comes from scientific literacy tests with socio-scientific issues and open-ended question description tests. The validity of the data was tested using a data triangulation technique, in which researchers compare data obtained through test instruments and interview results. The results of the data analysis showed the scientific literacy of chemistry education students was dominant in the nominal and functional categories with a percentage of 33.2% and 24.2%, conceptual and multidimensional categories 13.7%; 4.4%; and 24.5% of students did not give answers the tests.
